I woke up when I felt the cold breeze touched my skin. My head hurts when I tried to sit kaya napahilot ako sa sentindo ng ulo ko.
Bigla kong naalala na wala pala ako sa kwarto ko nang mapagtanto ko na hindi ako familiar sa kwarto na tinulugan ko.
Kinuha ko ang phone ko na nasa side table para i-check ang time. Napabalikwas ako ng upo nang makitang late na ako.
"Puta! Late ako, letche!" I yelled in irritation.
It's freaking 9 in the morning and I'm 2 hours late! Hindi man lang ako ginising ni Echo. Siguradong nasa university na 'yon ngayon. Hindi ko pinansin ang masakit kong ulo at dumiretso na ako sa banyo para mag toothbrush. Hindi na ako maliligo, bahala na.
"Mabango naman ako, diba?" I asked myself in front of the mirror while sniffing. "What a jerk! Hindi man lang ako ginising ng hayop na 'yon!"
I saw Echo sipping on his coffee while facing the window when I got out of his bedroom. Ang lakas parin ng ulan at sigurado akong baha malapit sa university. Suot niya parin ang pajama niya. Wala ba siyang klase ngayon?
"Oh you're awake. If you're wondering why am I still here, classes were suspended hanggang college," he said in a husky voice. Mukhang kakagising niya pa lang din.
My mouth formed an 'o' at umupo na ako sa sofa. Lumapit siya sa kinaroroonan ko at nilapag niya ang tasa sa coffee table at tumabi sa akin sa sofa. Nagdidikit na din ang legs namin dahil sa sobrang lapit niya.
He placed his palms on my forehead that made my eyes widened.
"May lagnat ka pa rin. You need to eat breakfast para makainom ka na ng gamot," sabi niya at tumayo. "May lagnat ka kanina nang magising ako," dagdag niya.
Wait, so nakita niya 'yong sabog kong mukha habang matutulog? Naturn-off siguro siya. I look like shit when I'm sleeping. Baka may tumutulo pang laway!
"You still looked good when you're sleeping, if that's what you're thinking," he chuckled.
I frowned, did I just say that out loud? Or he is a mind reader? This is embarrassing!
"Huh?" Painosenteng tanong ko.
"Ang dali mong basahin, Deborah. Halata sa expression mo iniisip mo."
